361 Achilles heel

After Speed ​​scored a goal that broke the deadlock, Chelsea, who was behind in the score, did not rush to counterattack and regain the disadvantage. Tottenham also tried the Blues' defensive strength and chose to avoid the edge for the moment, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. This situation was obviously unexpected by Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, who had been swearing before and thought the game would become more beautiful.

"Martin, can you analyze it for the audience in front of the TV, and tell me what Coach Mourinho is thinking now?" Andy Gray looked at the Chelsea player who was on the court who was strictly guarding and unable to see the slightest idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack. His tone was full of doubts, "It is understandable that Tottenham plays a little conservatively. Because they are now the leading side of the score, there is no need to risk being hit by the opponent in an advantageous situation and push the attack on the offense and slow down the pace of the game appropriately. But Chelsea's choice is somewhat incomprehensible. Why didn't Coach Mourinho let the team take the initiative to attack, but resumed his regular defensive counterattack style and deal with Tottenham?"

"I think there is no way for coach Mourinho to do this. Anyone who has watched Chelsea games knows that this team is very good at defensive counterattacks. In contrast, the Blues' performance in positional offense is extremely poor, and Tottenham is a team with extremely sharp counterattacks. In other words, Chelsea is now in a dilemma. If they take the initiative to attack in the next time, then the Blues' weak point of positional offense will be infinitely magnified by Tottenham, and the defense will also reveal a lot of space.

Tottenham can also teach them how to behave with counterattacks. If they return to the defense like now, although the defensive end can be guaranteed, it will also hand over the initiative on the court to Tottenham. "This level of question is obviously not difficult for Martin Taylor. The ace commentator of Sky TV station only thought for a while and replied, "However, Chelsea fans don't have to be too anxious because of the moment behind the score. Now there is more than an hour before the end of the game, and the Blues have enough time to regain the gap in this ball, so there is no need to rush to counterattack so early."

It has to be said that Martin Taylor is worthy of his ace commentator and expressed Mourinho's true intention to do this in one sentence - between stable defense and risky offense, the Portuguese madman who still has room to maneuver between stable defense and risky offense chose the former this time and did not intend to fight Tottenham now.

However, as Martin Taylor said, although Chelsea, which had contracted defense, stabilized its position and did not give Tottenham a chance, after putting heavy troops on the defensive end, the Blues' offensive inevitably stagnated. Neither Ribery and Duff on both wings or Ibrahimovic and Lampard in the middle failed to pose a substantial threat to the goal guarded by Cech!

If this is the case, it would be fine. At least Chelsea can first stabilize the defense and then make plans, but the worst thing is that as time goes by, Gala's performance, which has been steadily swinging after the opening game, began to become unstable!

In terms of ability and physical fitness alone, Gala definitely has the potential and talent to become the world's top central defender. If it is fully opened, it is even very hopeful to surpass Blank and Deselli at their peak. However, this French international has two extremely fatal shortcomings. One is that Zhang can't control it, and he especially likes to reveal the big mouth to the media. The other is that he is extremely prone to a top when defending high-altitude balls!

In George's previous life, Gala was first determined to be killed by Mourinho at the left-back position due to these two reasons. After transferring to Arsenal, he was abandoned by Wenger for leaking the team's secrets. His path in the French national team is getting narrower and narrower, and he has not reached the level he deserves!

In this life, Mourinho, who has not yet had a clear understanding of Gala's air defense capabilities, naturally could not have imagined that Gala, a very reliable guy in the team training, would hide such a scam. That's why Mourinho arranged for Gala and Terry to partner with the central defender in this game. Otherwise, no matter what the madman said, it would be impossible for Gala to replace Carvalho to play in this critical battle!

Compared with Mourinho, George is obviously more familiar with Gala's weaknesses. Therefore, when setting up tactics before the game, he made special arrangements for this, requiring players to increase the number and frequency of passing high-altitude balls in the game, and seize Gala's favour to increase his chance of winning!

Although this is likely to make Mourinho realize Gala's weakness earlier than in his previous life, even if George doesn't do this, Mourinho will sooner or later notice and realize this. Since that's the case, it's better for George to enjoy it yourself first, so as to save time and get the money for others.

What George did not expect was that Gala performed very well in the first half of the first half, completing the defensive task arranged by Mourinho well, which made his plan fail to be successfully realized. Now, as Gala's competitive state falls back and becomes less stable, the alarm above the Chelsea penalty area has also begun to sound frequently!

Del Orno and Ferreira have very strong tactical execution ability and are very fierce when defending. This is also the main reason why Mourinho took a fancy to the two and entrusted them with important tasks. However, Ronaldo and Robben are not players who can stop by foul tactics. Not to mention, Howard Webber, who has rich law enforcement experience, cannot allow Chelsea to play such ugly football in this Community Shield Final - although physical confrontations and fouls on the English court are as common as usual, in this game with good attention and ratings, the referee's judgment standards and whistles will naturally become much stricter!

No matter how strong Terry is, he cannot make it possible to wipe Gala's butt every time. Therefore, as the game deepened, Chelsea's defense finally showed signs of collapse again under the perseverance of Tottenham players!

In the 35th minute, Ronaldo, who was transferred to the left, broke through Ferreira's defense and then made a high pass. Gala in the penalty area accidentally threw the ball and leaked the ball to Drogba behind him. The latter made a slight adjustment after getting the ball and shot decisively, rewriting the score to 2-0!

In this way, with ten minutes left in the first half, Tottenham finally grabbed the biggest weakness on Chelsea's defense and gave the Blues a fatal blow!
